Analysis of the Population and Baseline Needs Assessment for the Children with Disabilities Coordinated Care Program at Naval Hospital, Jacksonville, FL
Abstract
This project provides a solid indication of the potential user population (ages 0 - 21) for services under the new Children with Disabilities Coordinated Care (CDCC) program. It further documents a basic needs assessment of specialized medical services needed by dependent children in the Naval Hospital Jacksonville (NHJAX) catchment area. A detailed review of the literature clearly supports the need and benefits of such a program. A survey of families who have disabled children indicates that the majority of care is delivered in the civilian community external to Naval Hospital Jacksonville. Increased assistance in getting services in the naval hospital, help with getting services in the community, and access to more and better information about available services are some of the basic findings of the survey. The findings contained in this project are immediately pertinent to the hospital task force that is developing the CDCC program. By using this information, we will be able to focus on the kinds of assistance that will make a significant impact for our beneficiaries. They have spoken, we must listen.
